Does anyone know what kind of building this was in 1911. my great- great-Grandfather lived there in 1911, on the census it states lodgers and inmates., was it a type of workhouse? I have come to a brick wall.-

ok mary if you go back to the 1911 census page you will see samuel is down as single..then go back 4 pages and it gives the info that he was living in a salvation army home in the district of st george with him are 143 other men..does not give the exact address but i think there was a sally home in loveday st...i will try and find out a bit more for you

just one thing the title of your thread is 27 taylor and wamer buildings..not quite sure yet what this means so maybe some of our other members could take a look
